NEW FAME.

The pleasantest and most brilliant
social event which has taken place in
Newfane for many years was the mar
riage at the church ON last Thursday,
of Miss Lula +. Davidson, only
daughter of M. Davidson, treasurer
of the Windham County Savings
Bank, to Mr.. Fred l.. Osgood of
Brookline at present a medical stu
dent of Vermont University. In
spite of the inclement weather the
church was well filed. The ceremo-
nv occurred at II o'clock and was
performed by Rev. G. II. Smith,
presiding clergyman. The floral dec
olations were tasty. The altar was
one bank of plants, and at the end
of either aisle toward the pulpit were
arches of evergreen which had been
beautifed by flowers brought by Mrs.
Chas. Park of Williamsville and
tastefully arranged by the brides
maids, assisted by Mrs. DR.. Miller
of New York city. The bride was
conducted to the altar by Miss Car
rie A. Lowe of Newfane, and fol-
lowing them came the other brides
maids, Miss Blanche A. Goodnow OF
Boston and Miss Carrie A. Bruce of
Newfane. Mr.. f. A. Dewitt con-
Quoted the groom to the altar and in
their rear came Mr.. +. S. Rice of
Boston and Mr.. B. c. Eager of
Newfane the other groomsmen. At
ter the services at the church recep-
ton was given at the home of the
bride to which the friends of the coup
lie were invited.
The presents were numerous and
costly. They were 53 in number,
some of the most important of them
being the following:

K.m.c,.t.ans and Their Homes.

Kamschatkans and Their Homes.
The aboriginals of Kamschatka and
Kamschatdales and Koriaks; but little is
known of their origin, and both have de-
creased in numbers since the Russian
occupation. The country is now chiefly
peopled by Siberian Russians and by q
race the product of intermarriage be-
tween them and the aboriginal Kam-
schatdales. This new race it is usual to
distinguish as Kamschatkans; and a
greedy, disagreeable kind of people they
seem to be. They are of low order,
and live in summer either in wretched
huts by the river banks, or in lofts above
the sheds in which they hang their fish.
In winter they have semi-subterranean
dwellings,. Their habits and diet are
alike filthy, and their notions of honesty
meager. The pure Kamschatdales, on
the other hand, appear to be kindly
and hospitable people.
The houses of the better class of ma
tives of Russian blood are usually log
built, implanted, containing usually two,
and sometimes, but rarely, four rooms,
in which will be found few chairs, a
rough deal table, tawdry gilt eikon OF
the Russian church, and a number OF
cockroaches and unmentionable insects.
The houses are in many places raised
above the ground, either upon stones,
like haysts cks, or upon low wooden pill
lars. The floors are boarded, and the
house is warmed by means OF huge
brick stove built in between the rooms,
which develops immense heat. The diet
of these upper classes" is-besides fish
milk, sour cream, rye bread and bll-
berries. The bilberry seems TO be the
only fruit in Kamschatka. Chambers

nYrERCRITIoAL.

Editor SITTER: The "Octaroon"
takes occasion to criticise, gramati-
cally, the following paragraph from
the Mortified News;
"There is no occasion for a general
alarm when II Is reccollected that Mr.
Dixon of the Montpelier Waterman, and
Mr.. Ropes of the Vermonter, ,rhom many
supposed were bitter enemies" etc.
And says: "We suppose this is
Mortified grammar"
Now we submit to the sentiment of
an intelligent and enlightened public
that the foregoing quotation is per-
fectly grammatical and logical in its
construction, this brilliant y editor
and his quondam friends to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. If this fel-
low has no more grace and decency
than to set himself up as grammatical
critic, and make such egregious blum
ders, he had better put broken glass
on his head and let himself out as a
back yard fence to an idiot asylum.

A Coon GAME OF BASE BALL.


The Young Bl0ods Victorious.
One of the most entertaining games
of base ball ever played in So. Lon
dondery came off last Saturday after
noon on Vaile's meadow between the
Haymakers represented by the older
players and the Stars, representing
the young bloods, both clubs belong
ing to this town. The playing was
exceedingly good on both sides, the
STARE, however, proving too much for
the lawmakers by score Of "a to %.
Some fine pitching was done by Frank
Tyler of the Stars, he having struck
out II men, good work for an anna
teur, surely. The day was fine and
quite an audience was in attendance
who enjoyed the sport. Judgment
was called frequently on close decis-
sions, also cries for Sagwa! W. w.
Pierce, assisted by DR.. Marden kept
the score.
We understand the game will be re-
peated next Saturday, when the Hay
makers hope to redeem themselves.
We shall see.

In a recent letter to daily paper, a
correspondent states that he has made
twenty-six trips or fifty-two tours across
the Atlantic, and has, in every instance
except the last, suffered very much from
seasickness. On this last trip he had
with him rubber bag, twelve inches
long ard four inches wide, the mouth of
which was closed by an iron clamp.
This he filled with small pieces of ice,
and applied to the spine at the base of
the brain for half to three-quaaters of an
hour every morning. 1t had a most
soothing effect, and he enjoyed every
hour and every meal.-Boston Budget.
